PyCXX is designed to make it easier to extend Python with C++

|

CXX/Objects is a set of C++ facilities to make it easier to write Python
|
||||
extensions. The chief way in which PyCXX makes it easier to write Python
|
||||
extensions is that it greatly increases the probability that your program
|
||||
will not make a reference-counting error and will not have to continually
|
||||
check error returns from the Python C API. CXX/Objects integrates Python
|
||||
with C++ in these ways:
|
||||
+ C++ exception handling is relied on to detect errors and clean up. In a
|
||||
complicated function this is often a tremendous problem when writing in C.
|
||||
With PyCXX, we let the compiler keep track of what objects need to be
|
||||
dereferenced when an error occurs.

The original source will install CXX source code needed to help building
|
||||
python/C++ extension under /usr/share/python2.6/CXX which is a standard
|
||||
Debian directory. As Slackware does not have /usr/share/python2.6, I
|
||||
patched the installer to use /usr/share/CXX in order to follow the style of
|
||||
stock python packages like pygobject or pygtk. Be aware, though, that
|
||||
python packages that will use PyCXX will probably look for the needed files
|
||||
under the Debian standard path! You should investigate if their setup.py
|
||||
accept any switch to setup a different search path otherwise you will have
|
||||
to patch them.
